The Democratic leadership in the Senate has directly targetted Vice President Dick
Cheney, and is demanding that President Bush pledge that he will not issue a Presidential

National

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was given a decisive beating by the voters of California

the state’s voters into giving him dictatorial powers.

Feature

Lyndon LaRouche addressed a webcast forum on “The Significance for Mexico of the Situation
in the United States,” sponsored by the Union of Workers of the National Autonomous
University of Mexico (STUNAM), on Nov. 9. The event was a dialogue between LaRouche
and Congressman Agustín Rodríguez Fuentes, who is general secretary of the STUNAM.
The speakers took questions from audiences gathered by videoconference from throughout
South and Central America.

Economics

Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay—representing 75% of the economy of South
America—refused to bow before the free-trade policy which is killing all of the nations
of the Americas—the United States included. As a result, the plans for a hemispheric
freetrade accord died a welcome death, at the summit in Mar de Plata, Argentina.

International

Helga Zepp-LaRouche warns that if the European nations continue to heed International
Monetary Fund and European Central Bank policy of austerity in the face of the economic
crisis facing them, then the unrest sweeping across France will be only a foretaste
of a dark age threatening them all.
